Definitions

  • This invention relates to a sun protection kit and method for its use. More specifically, this invention relates to a sun protection kit that alerts the user when the sunscreen needs to be reapplied.
  • UV radiation has wavelengths less than 400 nanometers. UV radiation is generally broken down into three major categories. UVA radiation has wavelengths in the range of 320 to 400 nanometers, UVB radiation has wavelengths in the range of 280 to 320 nanometers, and UVC covers the wavelength range less than 280 nm. UVC does not transmit through the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, however various skin physiological problems are related to exposure and over-exposure to UVA and UVB radiation in the solar spectrum. UVB was considered to be the cause of major physiological damage because it is more efficient at causing erythema than UVA. However, UVA wavelengths are more predominant in the solar spectrum than UVB, giving UVA a more important role in sun damaging effects than initially believed.
  • UVB is responsible for the majority of erythema (sunburn), UVA contributes to it as well. Both are suspected to be involved in photoaging of skin, which is exhibited by dryness, deep wrinkle formation, mottled pigmentation, and the breakdown of elastic tissues and collagen. While UVB is thought to be the primary wavelength region involved in skin cancer, the action spectrum for skin cancer (specifically melanoma) is not known so other regions of the solar spectrum can not be discounted as contributors as well.
  • sun protection products such as lotions, creams, sprays, or wipes. Such products are rated according to the sun protection factor, SPF.
  • Sun protection products that have a SPF > 15 are generally considered “sunblocks", while those having a SPF of 15 or less are either “sunscreen” or “suntanning” products.
  • Many organic sunscreen and sunblock products protect the skin from UVB and UVA radiation having wavelengths up to about 365 nanometers.
  • “sunscreen” means any chemical product that absorbs or scatters UV radiation and prevents UV radiation from penetrating deep into the skin (i.e., both sunblocks and sunscreens).
  • sunscreens can lose their effectiveness due to various factors. It is perceived by consumers that sunscreens can wear off by sweating, abrasion (i.e., rubbing), swimming, absorption into the skin, migration on the skin, and photodegredation, and these removal mechanisms may be important in sun protection by sunscreens. Mechanisms by which a sunscreen wears off create a problem in that a consumer cannot tell when the sunscreen has stopped providing effective UV protection.
  • sunscreens typically must be applied in an amount of 2 milligrams per square centimeter to the entire region of the body that is exposed to the sun (or for an average adult, approximately 35 ml of sunscreen should be applied). The average amount actually applied by users is about 0.5 mg/cm 2 . If a lesser amount of sunscreen is applied, then the claimed SPF value for the sunscreen is not reached and maintained. Therefore, the amount of protection that the consumer receives is related to the amount of sunscreen applied in addition to the SPF value on the bottle. Insufficient application of sunscreen will lead to lower UV protection. Due to wear off and the initial failure to apply a sufficient amount of sunscreen, it is not possible for consumers to tell when the sunscreens are still providing adequate sun protection. Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a means for alerting consumers when their sunscreens are no longer protecting them from exposure to UV radiation.
  • One method for combating this problem is to provide a device such as a plastic gauge or monitor that can be applied to clothes or attached to skin.
  • the device has an indicator that alerts the user when UV radiation is reaching the device.
  • gauges and devices suffer from the drawback that they are not skin-like, so the rate at which a sunscreen wears off a gauge or device does not accurately predict the status or efficiency of the sunscreen on the skin. Therefore, it is a further object of this invention to provide an indicator that will accurately predict when a sunscreen applied to the skin is still efficiently providing UV protection.
  • Gauges and devices known in the art also suffer from the drawback that they are not essentially UV transparent. Sunscreens do not prevent 100% of UV light from reaching the skin. Generally, the higher the SPF value, the more UV light the sunscreen prevents from absorbing into the skin. Therefore, even if the sunscreen prevents 99.5%o of the UV light from penetrating the skin, some UV radiation is still making it through and naturally tanning will occur. This means if a consumer wears a gauge or device on the skin that is not essentially UV transparent, the consumer will have an untanned area of skin when the gauge or device is removed because the gauge or device is unable to transmit to the skin even the smallest amount of UV that is being transmitted by the sunscreen. It is a further object of the invention to provide an indicator that is essentially UV transparent.
  • gauges and devices attach to the skin or clothing using a separate adhesive layer.
  • adhesive layers suffer from the drawback that they can fail causing the gauge or device to fall off and become useless. Therefore, it is a further object of this invention to provide an indicator that is applied directly to the skin, and that does not require a separate adhesive layer.
  • Another method for combating the problem of determining when a sunscreen has worn off is to put a temporary visual indicator in the sunscreen.
  • the indicator renders the sunscreen colored when it is applied, but it becomes invisible shortly after application.
  • the indicator can be reactivated temporarily to the visible form so that the user can verify the presence of the sunscreen.
  • this method is inconvenient because the user must periodically reactivate the indicator by applying a disclosing solution, such as a spray to modify pH, to determine whether the sunscreen is still present.
  • a disclosing solution such as a spray to modify pH
  • Photochromic means that the molecule changes color in the presence of radiation due to a conformational change of the molecule that is induced by radiation. This conformational change is a reversible structural change governed by mechanisms such as ring opening or closing reactions, electron transfer reactions, or radical dissociation reactions. For a molecule to be photochromic, it must be capable of reverting back to its original structure when exposure to the exciting radiation ceases.
  • the molecule must be capable of changing and reverting back to its original color, or nearly its original color, multiple times upon repeated exposures to radiation.
  • Materials that change color irreversibly when exposed to UV radiation can be used to make disposable, one-time use dosimeter-type devices.
  • they cannot be used to make reusable indicators (e.g., indicators that can be used upon multiple reapplications of sunscreen). Therefore, it is a further object of this invention to provide an indicator that can be used to determine whether a sunscreen is still providing effective and sufficient UV protection after one or more re-applications of the sunscreen over the course of one full day of outside activity.
  • This invention relates to a sun protection kit comprising: (A) a sunscreen, and (B) an indicator comprising
  • the photochromic molecule turns or changes color when the indicator is exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
  • the color change alerts the user when the sunscreen applied to the skin (over the indicator) is no longer acting as an effective sun protection product and needs to be reapplied.
  • the photochromic molecule reverts to its original color, as does the indicator, because the sunscreen prevents the majority of the ultraviolet light from activating the photochromic molecule within the indicator.
  • the kit preferably further comprises (C) instructions for use.
  • “Aromatic group” means a monovalent group having a monocyclic ring structure or fused polycyclic ring structure.
  • Monocyclic aromatic groups contain 5 to 12 carbon atoms, preferably 6 carbon atoms, in the ring. The most preferred monocyclic aromatic group is phenyl.
  • Polycyclic aromatic groups contain 10 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 10 to 12 carbon atoms in the ring system. Polycyclic aromatic groups include ring systems wherein only one ring in the system is aromatic. Polycyclic aromatic groups are exemplified by bicyclic groups of 10 to 12 carbon atoms and tricyclic groups of 16 to 18 carbon atoms.
  • Preferred polycyclic aromatic groups include naphthyl, anthracenyl, and phenanthrenyl.
  • Carbocyclic group means a monovalent saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon ring that is not aromatic. Carbocyclic groups can be monocyclic or polycyclic. Carbocyclic groups contain 5 to 18 carbon atoms, preferably 5 to 12 carbon atoms. Preferred monocyclic carbocyclic groups include cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, and cyclohexenyl. Preferred polycyclic carbocyclic groups include bicyclic groups and tricyclic groups.

  • Halogen atom means F, CI, Br, or I. CI is preferred.
  • Halogenated hydrocarbon group means a substituted monovalent hydrocarbon group or a substituted carbocyclic group, wherein at least one substituent is a halogen atom.
  • Heteroaromatic group means an aromatic group containing carbon and 1 to 4 heteroatoms in the ring. Heteroaromatic groups are monocyclic or fused polycyclic rings. Monocyclic heteroaromatic groups contain 5 to 12 member atoms (i.e., carbon and heteroatoms), preferably 6 in the ring. Polycyclic heteroaromatic groups contain 10 to 18 member atoms, preferably 10 to 12 member atoms in the ring system. Polycyclic heteroaromatic groups include ring systems in which only one ring is aromatic. Polycyclic heteroaromatic groups are preferably bicyclic or tricyclic. Preferred bicyclic heteroaromatic rings include indolyl and quinolinyl.

  • heteroatoms are selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen atoms.
  • Groups containing more than one heteroatom may contain different heteroatoms.

  • Heterogeneous group means a saturated or unsaturated chain containing 1 to 18 member atoms (i.e., including both carbon atoms and at least one heteroatom).
  • “Lower heterogeneous” means a heterogeneous group having 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 3, member atoms. No two heteroatoms are adjacent.

  • the indicator may be rated for different SPFs and skin types, so consumers can choose to have an indicator that provides insight into different levels of protection.
  • the rating may be done, for example, by varying the amount of the photochromic molecule in the indicator.
  • the indicator may comprise different levels of photochromic molecules in order to indicate when different SPF levels have been surpassed, such as in a tiered system which indicates that the sunscreen can no longer provide one level of SPF protection, but is still providing a lower level, e.g., the sunscreen is no longer providing SPF 30 protection but is providing SPF 15 protection, then that the sunscreen is no longer providing SPF 15, but is SPF 10, etc.

  • skin type is based on the first 45-60 minutes of sun exposure after winter season without sunscreen protection. This scale is broken down into 6 types (Type I to Type VI).
  • Type I class is fair skin with freckles, and unexposed skin is white with a skin reaction that leads to easily-acquired and painful burns with little tan and ultimate peeling.
  • Type VI is black or dark brown unexposed skin with burns resulting only from the most severe exposure (see Fitzpatrick, T.B., The validity and practicality of sun-reactive skin types I through VI, Arch. Dermatology 124 (1988) 869- 871).

  • the carrier in the indicator must be essentially transparent in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. Not only do sunscreens not block 100% of the UV light and therefore allow some tanning to occur, but as the sunscreen wears off, more UV light will begin to penetrate to the indicator. While some photons will be used to convert the photochromic molecule to its colored form, other photons will not and will need to pass through the indicator so that the skin under the indicator will tan. If the carrier is not essentially UV transparent, the patch of skin underneath the indicator (a.k.a., the area of skin to which the indicator is applied) will not tan as compared to the rest of the body which is naturally tanning in the sunlight, even with sun protection.

These characteristics can be defined by physical parameters such as surface energy, Young's Modulus, glass transition temperature, and drying rate, to name a few. The following parameters are cited as non- limiting examples of characteristics that can be used when choosing the film-forming polymer and diluent. The physical parameters described herein do not limit the scope of film-forming polymers suitable to use in this invention. Other properties can be used as well to give to the desired characteristics. a. Surface energy : Good adhesion can be a result of matching the surface energy ( ⁇ s ), of the skin with that of the composition.
  • adhesion is believed to be due to physical forces, rather than chemical bonding to the skin.
  • these physical forces include non-covalent interactions such as polar, non-polar, hydrogen bonding, and charged interactions as well as physical interactions such as mechanical interlocking.
  • Solid surface energies are measured indirectly by probing with known liquids, using contact angle measurements.
  • One instrument with which to make these measurements is a K12 tensiometer made by Kruss. Skin has surface energies around 38 - 39 milliNewtons/meter. Polymers or polymer mixtures/blends that have dry film surface energies in this range will typically give good adhesion to skin.

  • Drying rate A faster drying rate of the carrier composition is more preferred in this invention; a faster drying composition will allow less time prior to the application of sunscreen and therefore less preparation time before engaging in the activity for which sunscreen is required.
  • the drying rate of the indicator will in part be dictated by the evaporation rate of the solvent and other diluents included in the carrier composition.
  • the evaporation rate of any given solvent is a function of many parameters, such as vapor pressure of the liquid at the temperature under consideration, the latent heat of evaporation of the liquid, the humidity of the atmosphere, the surface tension of the liquid, as well as several other factors. With mixtures of solvents, the rate of evaporation is further dependent upon additional characteristics. Because of the many factors leading to evaporation rate, it is therefore very difficult to a priori predict which liquids are best used. A solvent's volatility is used as a guide to determine evaporation rate because vapor pressure is one of the prime factors governing the rate at which evaporation takes place. The boiling point (Tb) of the solvent is often used to estimate whether a solvent is more or less volatile.
  • boiling points can be classified into three groups: low boilers (T b ⁇ 100°C), medium boilers (100°C ⁇ T b ⁇ ⁇ 150°C), and high boilers (T b > 150°C).
